If a matter is struck off the roll because a party who initiated the proceedings was not present, the matter may not be re-enrolled without that party having provided the court with a satisfactory explanation, under oath or affirmation, for the failure to attend court.
The affidavit or affirmation must be delivered and the registrar must place it before a judge in chambers, to decide whether the matter may be re-enrolled.
The judge before whom the affidavit or affirmation is placed may order that an application for re-enrollment be made. In that event, the application must comply with rule 11 .
